Catchin up. .

On the road





Well I have not updated the blog in a very long time so im going to add a few things .. In June I went home with the boys to visit there grand parents and the rest of the family. The drive started out with great weather and not much news..

This was our first long trip that would involve caching and i had spent several days working on what caches to go after. I had loaded maps for the trip on 95North from Jacksonville FL to Delaware and had the rest of the trip in the laptop. We drove all the first day stopping about once an hour to get caches. this was great it gave us all a break and let the kids burn off a bit of energy. We made it to Delaware the first day. and to Massachusetts the second day..
after much rain and traffic.


We had a great time visiting with my parents, even took dad out caching we had a great time being home andthe boys got to see quite a bit of the area because we went and got several caches while we were visiting family.


Heavy rain on the way north.


Dad caching for his first find. A full size cache in the woods of a local park.



Found this sight while looking for a caching in one of the biggest stone walls I ever seen.


Was not what i would call an easy find..but Matthew made the grab.

This was a great view of the conneticut valley in Massachusetts. The oxbow is in the back gound.

While we were visiting in Maine at my sisters we found this thing sitting on the bush . It was about 4-5 inches long.



We had a great time enen got to go to the races.
And whats a trip to maine if you dont visit the local ER for a few stiches. Matthew just had to find a way to get us to log a cache with the line.." on the way home from the ER"



After our visit in Maine we spent a day with my parents then headed home. The return trip was uneventful and we did stop and get a few more caches..

The total numebr of caches for the trip was 47. The miles driven was around 2600. The number of fights the boys had in the van on the road only 2.

Over all a great trip.. and well worth the drive.
